i'm currently going through this process of steping away from counting calories because it started to feel overwhelming and i didn't like that. After all this time I know my portions by now so I need so trust in me and knod that I actually know how to eat so when I saw your video it made me really really happy
Exactly where I am at right now...I realized that tracking had become an obsession when my day was spent thinking about food portions and how many calories I was getting in each meals, what macros, all of that. I’m on the right path and I don’t want stress to get in the way of my progression. Even my trainer recommended me to stop tracking for now since I already have a good idea of what to eat by now but it’s hard to stop thinking about it...I notice I’m still doing it every time I eat or prepare a meal...how do you do it?
@@mariadocarmosarmento9487 this is my second week without tracking. The first one was tough, tbh. I started recreating everything that I was already doing previously. This week is going better. I know listen to my real hunger cues and and choose food wisely always trying to balance them by having the 3 macros. What about you?
@@LizSaci I deleted my tracking app last week but installed it again so it’s been hard...I’m going to try it again and go from here but it’s been hard thinking about eating intuitively because whenever I think about a certain food/ingredient my mind always goes to “how much calories, what macros”, do you get it?! :(
What I’ve loved about you since day one is you’re so honest and real. And you use science behind your education which is what is so important and sometimes lacks right now. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for inspiring me. I've been wanting to lose weight for so long, it's been hard to find the right workouts and the right diet, mostly because I realized they were good for the people who created them but not necessarily for me. It had to be a workout I enjoy and can do, my style of workout, and that it would work for me. Same thing with the diet: it had to be something that my body needs to reach my goals, something I enjoy, something healthy, and that it would work for me. Just because your diet and exercise routine works for you doesn't mean it works for me, so I had to look up for my own workout style and dieting. Your diet is unique and may not work for me, but it has inspired me to look up what foods I should eat that would be healthy for my body and help me reach my goals. Your workouts are enjoyable and my style, so I am doing those, but my first week was difficult because my legs became very sore and I had to rest for 3 days. I'm getting back at it on Monday, the 16th of February of 2021, so I can keep up with it. Anyway, thank you so much for inspiring me, it's been hard finding this kind of inspiration to get me to commit to a healthy lifestyle. Keep up the good work. PS: Sorry for making this comment so long.
Thanks for sharing your journey! I still struggle a lot with an healthy relationship to food.. As I am working out a lot (6 times a week) I really struggle with feelings of guilt when I do not eat super clean/ "healthy".. Really aware but still really challenging to not overthink my food intake.
Hey Sophie, around 4:41 you define good fats a those “not high in unsaturated fats.” I think you meant trans and/or saturated fats bc mono and poly-unsaturated fats are good! 👍🏼
The only HEALTHY relationship with food is intuitive eating, without thinking and without tracking macros. You just have to be connected with your body and don't do things that work against it
@@maeghalanka9020 I think that intuitive eating is listening when your stomach is full or listening to your body cues and being mindful. something learned overtime and I had to go through a bit before it helped me I made a video about it
For intuitive eating to be healthy, first you need to track macros at least for some 2 weeks, to better understand portion sizes and what is what. For someone who does not know nothing about nutrition and eats only what he wants, can end with burgers and chips.
Actually no. If someone has over eaten for a long time, the hormones signaling if you're hungry or full are disturbed. If you say to that person to try intuitive eating, it wouldn't make them eat the right amount needed for their body. Also, if someone is obese or overweight and needs to lose weight, the body will try to maintain thus intuitive eating wouldn't work
I could not understand you well because I am not good at English, as I speak Arabic but I find joy in what it has to offer. I hope you do a translation in the future, and I hope you continue💚
I felt so safe during the video because sometimes this whole eating and dieting thing on social media just scares me. Thanks so much for sharing your tips❤️
I am just LOVING all of your videos right now! I’m feeling very inspired and excited to get back to the gym to see and feel the results! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and tricks. Much love, girl! 💕
Here I am a few days after my 14 days juice cleanse hahah. So just the first minute of the minute I was like oh 😐. But I did it because I wanted to give my body a break and because I love it. And it helped me to think about food as a fuel and not to make my body a trash can cuz I was eating too much sugar. Hopefully I’ll stay in my health no sugar way ☺️
my eating disorder and my excessive exercise addiction have gotten even worse ugh bc I can have control over certain things and it gives me a reason to be structured or wake up every day and a place where I can prove something. … I want to recover I want to get healthy again because I know my body is suffering and pushing yourself in an unhealthy way is very bad but I’m just so scared of change and 1. don’t know how to get rid of this mindset, 2. stop restricting and eating more, 3. gain weight again and start a healthy routine with exercise.. right now I still FORCE myself to exercise for hours and work out two times a day so basically punish my body and I wouldn’t say that I don’t enjoy exercising anymore but it’s like a chore and a way to measure my success and self worth. I know it’s more about your mindset and that skinny is not always a good thing and that you should love and treat your body right. I want to recover- eat freely and enjoy food but only in a healthy way. I never really crave food or can feel my appetite because I’m so used to eating little and it’s so hard for me to eat more in order to gain weight. I know life should be so much more but it’s so hard during covid times because exercise makes me feel accomplished and more worthy.. it’s become such a big part of my life and my identity and it’s a place where I can prove something to myself. unfortunately my mindset tells me that I need to earn or make up for eating, and measure out everything like even fruit ( ugh ridiculous i know ) and push myself to my limit when exercising. I tried reducing the amount of exercise but I feel worthless and like a failure afterwards. I keep telling myself that food is fuel and you need to get better and not restict and that change in my case is a good thing and that being very skinny is so bad and you shouldn’t define your worth on exercise or food. recover takes time though ://///
love your content, my only concern is that you may have used yeast instead of cornstarch in the sauce you prepared for dinner. other than that, i enjoy so much your videos of what I eat because it shows a lot of flexibility but still being healthy
Hi just so you know unsaturated fats are considered “healthy fats” because they are liquid at room temperature. Saturated fats are considered “unhealthy fats” because they are solid at room temp and therefore more likely to contribute to cardiovascular disease
Your videos always relax me, and at the same time I feel hyped up by you :) it feels like I’m talking to a friend instead of watching a video. Thanks so much for your insight!
In your calculator, what is considered “exercise” 1-2 days per week? Running/weighilifting or just moving around all day and having high step count (10 k)?
Hey, I'm from Spain just wanted to tell you in case you didnt know that the cornstarch you're using isn't cornstarch it's dried yeast. You want to look for a big package from the same brand (the brand is called Maizena hence why you confused it I think) that says Harina de Maiz/Almidón de Maiz or Maicena. Fantastic video though I'm right now trying to body recomp and it feels that I can't lose a pound...but I feel better and I think I look better....don't know if it's only my imagination but I'm going to focus on the positive and continue crushing my nutrition and my gym sessions
I think that everybody should track macros and calories at first just to reach a certain level of knowledge; then you should probably transition to intuitive eating and live your life ☺️
I need 2500 cals a day to maintain my weight and I'm 5'2 and 105 lb and I only do low impact exercises like pilates and weight training . I lose weight when I hit 2200
Hey you said you stay away from high amounts of unsaturated fats because it causes bad cholesterol. Unsaturated is good far you need to stay way from saturated fats ....
Why does everyone like oats and I don't?? I've tried them with a lot of different ingredients and I really want to like them because they are a healthy way of feeling full, but nothing.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
